Coupled with field observations and historical records, they are especially helpful in understanding avalanche flow in complex terrain. However, their application poses several new challenges to avalanche engineers. A detailed understanding of the avalanche phenomena is required to construct hazard scenarios which involve the careful specification of initial conditions (release zone location and dimensions) and definition of appropriate friction parameters. The interpretation of simulation results requires an understanding of the numerical solution schemes and easy to use visualization tools. We discuss these problems by presenting the computer model RAMMS, which was specially designed by the SLF as a practical tool for avalanche engineers. RAMMS solves the depth-averaged equations governing avalanche flow with accurate second-order numerical solution schemes. The model allows the specification of multiple release zones in three-dimensional terrain. Snow cover entrainment is considered. Furthermore, two different flow rheologies can be applied: the standard Voellmy-Salm (VS) approach or a random kinetic energy (RKE) model, which accounts for the random motion and inelastic interaction between snow granules. We present the governing differential equations, highlight some of the input and output features of RAMMS and then apply the models with entrainment to simulate two well-documented avalanche events recorded at the Vall{\´e}e de la Sionne test site.}, language = {en} } @misc{Kowalski2010, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Kowalski, Julia}, title = {Streamline estimation from sparsely sampled q-space Magnetic Resonance data}, year = {2010}, language = {de} } @article{BlomeChiconeHehletal.2010, author = {Blome, Hans-Joachim and Chicone, Carmen and Hehl, Friedrich W. and Mashhoon, Bahram}, title = {Nonlocal modification of Newtonian gravity}, series = {Physical Review D}, volume = {81}, journal = {Physical Review D}, number = {6}, isbn = {0556-2821}, pages = {065020}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @book{AppelBraehlerDahlhausetal.2010, author = {Appel, Wolfgang and Br{\"a}hler, Hermann and Dahlhaus, Ulrich and Esch, Thomas and Kopp, Stephan and Rhein, Bernd}, title = {Nutzfahrzeugtechnik : Grundlagen, Systeme, Komponenten. 6., {\"u}berarb.

Several analytical SRP force models that describe the SRP force acting on the sail have been established since the 1970s. All the widely used models use constant optical force coefficients of the reflecting sail material. In 2006,MENGALI et al. proposed a refined SRP force model that takes into account the dependancy of the force coefficients on the light incident angle,the sail's distance from the sun (and thus the sail emperature) and the surface roughness of the sail material [1]. In this paper, the refined SRP force model is compared to the previous ones in order to identify the potential impact of the new model on the predicted capabilities of solar sails in performing low-cost interplanetary space missions. All force models have been implemented within InTrance, a global low-thrust trajectory optimization software utilizing evolutionary neurocontrol [2]. Two interplanetary rendezvous missions, to Mercury and the near-Earth asteroid 1996FG3, are investigated. Two solar sail performances in terms of characteristic acceleration are examined for both scenarios, 0.2 mm/s2 and 0.5 mm/s2, termed "low" and "medium" sail performance. In case of the refined SRP model, three different values of surface roughness are chosen, h = 0 nm, 10 nm and 25 nm. The results show that the refined SRP force model yields shorter transfer times than the standard model.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KapoorBollerGiljohannetal.2010, author = {Kapoor, Hrshi and Boller, Christian and Giljohann, Sebastian and Braun, Carsten}, title = {Strategies for structural health monitoring implementation potential assessment in aircraft operational life extension considerations}, series = {2nd International Symposium on NDT in Aerospace : November 22-24, 2010 Hamburg, Germany}, booktitle = {2nd International Symposium on NDT in Aerospace : November 22-24, 2010 Hamburg, Germany}, publisher = {Dt.

This chapter covers their orbital and attitude dynamics and control. First, the advantages and limitations of solar sails are discussed and their history and development status is outlined. Because the dynamics of solar sails is governed by the (thermo-)optical properties of the sail film, the basic solar radiation pressure force models have to be described and compared before parameters to measure solar sail performance can be defined. The next part covers the orbital dynamics of solar sails for heliocentric motion, planetocentric motion, and motion at Lagrangian equilibrium points. Afterwards, some advanced solar radiation pressure force models are described, which allow to quantify the thrust force on solar sails of arbitrary shape, the effects of temperature, of light incidence angle, of surface roughness, and the effects of optical degradation of the sail film in the space environment. The orbital motion of a solar sail is strongly coupled to its rotational motion, so that the attitude control of these soft and flexible structures is very challenging, especially for planetocentric orbits that require fast attitude maneuvers. Finally, some potential attitude control methods are sketched and selection criteria are given.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KapoorBraunBoller2010, author = {Kapoor, Hrshi and Braun, Carsten and Boller, Christian}, title = {Modelling and optimisation of maintenance intervals to realize structural health monitoring applications on aircraft}, series = {Structural health monitoring 2010 : proceedings of the Fifth European Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring held at Sorrento, Naples, Italy, June 28 - July 4, 2010 ; [EWSHM]}, booktitle = {Structural health monitoring 2010 : proceedings of the Fifth European Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring held at Sorrento, Naples, Italy, June 28 - July 4, 2010 ; [EWSHM]}, editor = {Casciati, Fabio}, publisher = {DEStech Publ.}, address = {Lancaster, Pa.}, isbn = {978-1-60595-024-2}, pages = {55 -- 63}, year = {2010}, language = {en} }
